I want to personally thank both Harry and Bev for a fantastic experience in achieving my Class 1! Harry was incredibly patient, calm, cool and collected. He doesn't hesitate to point out where you could be improving, and that's something I appreciate very much.
Originally signed on for a ten hour course, found that down-shifting while driving in Calgary traffic was not as easy as I had hoped it would be, so I extended my course to 20 hours. Harry not once suggested this, he let me arrive at that conclusion on my own. Again, this is something I appreciate in an instructor. Truck is clean and well maintained.
So, to recap my experience; achieved my Class 1 license in 20 hours, never having driven something of that size on a road. This license has got me noticed up here as well! Went to a job-fair, and nine times out of ten, had the class 1 license circled and my resume starred on the corner because of it.
Even if you aren't thinking of becoming a long-haul driver, if you are looking to set yourself apart from the crowd, a Class 1 or 3 license and air-brakes are a hell of a way to do that.
And if you ARE looking for training, I cannot recommend any place more highly than training with Harry and Bev at the Professional Truck Driving School Ltd.
p.s. Harry's prices whip the hell out of other places in the city, where I would have spent double what I did. On a tight budget, this was awesome! Same experience! Read Less
